Alice Degan's books

From All False Doctrine

Toronto, 1925: An ancient manuscript and a modern cult promise the secret to personal metamorphosis. An atheist graduate student falls in love with a priest. A shiftless musician jilts his fiancee and disappears. From All False Doctrine is a metaphysical mystery wrapped in a 1920s comedy of manners.

Thrown together when their best friends fall in love, Elsa Nordqvist and Kit Underhill don't think they have much in common. But when Kit's friend Peachy drops off the face of the earth, and the manuscript that Elsa wanted to write her thesis on seems to have something to do with it, Elsa and Kit become unlikely allies. The question is, can their combined resources of Classical scholarship and Anglo-Catholic liturgy save a man from himself?

The Tenants of 7C (Heaven and Earth #1)

Clare works for Stake Inc., organizing vampire hunts for tourists in downtown Toronto. You didn't know there were vampires in Toronto? Don't feel bad; neither do most people. And Clare herself is about to discover that there are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in her job description.

The Siege of 7C (Heaven and Earth #2)

When you live in an apartment where the rooms move around, with a satyr and a Japanese demon as roommates, fantasy role-playing games aren't as exciting as they might be. But those dice-roling skills may come in handy when confronted with a flock of otherworldly pigeons. Nick, Takehiko, and Yiannis, the tenants of 7C, return in a second adventure.

7C Goes Down (Heaven and Earth #3)

Brianna thought she was just doing a good turn, helping out a (very cute) elf knight who was attacked in the parking lot behind the dumpsters. She had no idea it would end with her mother being challenged to a duel. Fortunately, Nick, the werewolf delivery boy from Heaven & Earth Bakery, happens by to save the day. Sort of.
